Sakura had now been with Itachi for one month. She coundnt really say it bothered her though. She did miss her friend and family but being with itachi well it made her feel happy. They had grown very close. Sakura felt like she was in........love.
"Sakura we need to talk." Itachi said blankly. Sakura looked at his face to see is she could understand what was going on but as usaul she couldnt.
"ok lets talk."
"You need to return to Konaha."
"why why now."
"DOnt you want ot go home?"
"I do but why all of the sudden."
"because sasuke is very close. Ive decided to meet him and give myself up. Hell meet me on the way to konaha. He doesnt know it ill meet him while im taking you home. I want you to witneiss this battle between us. And when its ove ryou need to heal sasukes woulds" Itachi said looking into sakuras eyes
"but I-I....." sakura felt like she was going to cry.
"Sakura promise me you will. I need you to do this for me." Itachi said pleadingly. Sakrua was so shocked that all she could do is nod.
"Well leave at dawn so we better get some sleep."Itachi said. Sakrua and him headed to the room.
As usualy sakura climbed into to the bed followed by Itachi. Itachi rapped his arm around sakuras and kissed her on the fordead. Sakura closed her eyes and enjoyed being in Itachis arm for what might have been the last time.
Sakura and Itachi were now on there way to Konaha. They had been traveling for two days and were very close. Itachi could already feel sasukes precence nearby.
with the others.................
Neji and Shikarmus team were face to face with sasuke and his team.
"Sasuke what are you doing here?" Naruto asked speechless
"naruto." sasuke said looking at him
"So youve become an anbu i see. I guess you not the same weak dobe i use to know." sasuke said with a smirk
"Thats right sasuke ive change. We all have. Especally sakrua." Naruto said while looking down. They still hadnt found her.
"Speaking of sakura where is she?" sasuke asked
"None of your buisness uchiha/" neji spat
"Hn whatever i dont have time for this. Right now its time for me to get my revenge.
"What do you mean its time?"Naruto yelled
"ive found itachi. Hes near by."
"What" naruto said shocked
"karin,suigetsu,judo take care of these pest." sasuke said turning around
"Wait sasuke, you know where Itachi is?" Naruto yelled desperatly
"Whats it to you?" He said not looking back but stopping
"Itachi he has sakura.' Naruto yelled
"Sasuke wiped his head around and searched narutos face for any signs of lying. He didnt find any.
"hn." sasuke said turning around
"You bastard dont you even care about her."Ino screamed at him
"She loved you and all you can do is hurt her and naruto." ino yelled again
"tch annoying." sasuke said still walking.
"SASUKE" naruto yelled. He charged at sasuke but was stopped by suigetsu.
"Ill be you partner."
sasuke kept walking while the two squads dealed with team snake.
Sasuke ran his fasted until he came upon Itachi. There he was the man that ruined his life. And standing next to him was no other that sakura.
"Sakura hes here." itachi said as sasuke arrived in the clearing
"Itachi I-I dont want this to happen." sakrua whispered
"It must be. Youll keep your promise wont you cherry blossom."
"yes yes i will." sakura siad choking up
'Ok cherry blossom its time for you to move." Itachi said as he picked sakura up and doged one of sasukes attacks.
"Stay here cherry blossom. Goodbye." itachi said she he faced sasuke
"Sakrua why are you here?" Sasuke asked
"I-I was taken hostage in orden to draw naruto." sakrua answered shakily
"tch, weak as ever sakura." sasuke said ruching in to attack his brother. Sakrua closed her eyes.
Itachi and Sasuke kept Fighting until they both were bleeding and out of breath. Suprsingly sasuke was the one in better shape but sakrua new that was because itachi was going easy on him. Sakura watched as Sasuke charged at itachi. Itachi dodged and pined sasuke to a wall. Sasuke had no strength to fight back. Itachi lifed his hand ready to take sasukes eyes. Itachis hand slowly moved toward him. But instead up taking his eyes he poked him the head like he used to do when sasuke was younger
"Sorry sasuke there wont be a next time." at that itachi fell down tot he ground with barly any life left in him. Sasuke slid downt he wall next to him in shock.
"ITACHI." Sakura sreamed as she ran over to him. She bent down and check his vitals signs. There was nothing she could do but she would try anyways. Sasuke just stared at her in shock.
"itachi no no, hang on il heal you. Youll be alright. Dont die itachi dont die." sakura cried while she performed her medical ninjutsu
"sakura" itachi whispered
"Its ok ive sinned way to much. Its time for me to die. But thank you for caring about me. It was nice to have you in my final moments." itachi said barly audible
"I-Itachi no please dont leave me. I-I love you." sakura whisped while she cried. She knew he was right there was nothing she could do.
"Sakura please keep you promise and never tell. Also i have one finaly request, Kiss me. Thats my fianl wish." itachi said smiling a little.
Sakura bent down slowing and kissed him softly. When she finished she looked at him.
"Thank you sakura, my dear cherry blossom. Please take care of sasuke and never stop loving him. He needs you now.........." Itachi said closing his eyes.
"no itachi no." sakura cried. He was dead now and there was nothing she could do. Why did he have to die.
Damn konaha damn them.
Sakura looked over at sasuke who didnt look good. He looked so sad. Yet happy. Sakura crawled over to him. If he wasnt so weak he would have moved but he coldnt all he could do was talk.
"Sasuke im just going to heal your wounds ok." sakura said starting on his wounds
"sakura what you said is that all true do you love itachi" sasuke asked
"i did yes, but now hes gone." sakura said sadly
"why how could you when when you knew what he did to me. You said you loved me once was that a lie." sasuke asked shocked
"No i still love you. I think he just remined me so much of you that..... i fell in love." sakura lied. That wasnt why but she couldnt tells sasuke. Afrer sakura healed his woulds he got up and so did he.
"What now sasuke. What will you do?" sakura asked. Before he could answer someone showed up.
"WHo are you." sakura asked.
"Im tobi and i need to talk to you and sasuke."
